Trump Destroys CNN Yet Again… This Time Through EPIC Tweet

Though virtually all other media outlets had wisely ignored it, BuzzFeed and CNN recently ran with an unsubstantiated and unverifiable story about a supposed “intelligence” dossier that purported to show that the Russian government had obtained blackmail-worthy information regarding President-elect Donald Trump.

During a Wednesday news conference, Trump called BuzzFeed a “failing pile of garbage” and slammed CNN, which he accused of being “fake news,” while refusing to accept repeated demands for a question from CNN reporter Jim Acosta.

While some may have thought that would be the end of the feud between the incoming president and a major cable news network, the battle carried over into Thursday as Trump took to Twitter to unleash his wrath on CNN yet again, according to the Washington Examiner.

Trump tweeted, “CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone!”

CNN’s remaining credibility is certainly a debatable point, but what is inarguable is the fact that, yes indeed, CNN’s ratings have dropped significantly since the election, according to The Wrap.

While CNN ranked second behind Fox News in total viewers per day, when the ratings for the past couple of months were compared with the same time last year, CNN’s viewership has grown by a measly 1 percent, while both Fox and MSNBC have seen viewership grow by roughly 30 percent.

Furthermore, CNN has slipped to third place behind MSNBC in the prime-time ratings, witnessing an 18 percent drop from last year while Fox has grown 31 percent and MSNBC has astonishingly added 41 percent more prime-time viewers.

The Daily Caller noted that CNN had issued a statement in its defense after the initial attack against them as “fake news” by Trump.

“CNN’s decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than BuzzFeed’s decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this,” the statement read.

Nevertheless, with chants of “CNN sucks” still reverberating around certain parts of the country, owing largely to the network’s unabashedly lopsided coverage, it will likely be quite some time before CNN regains the credibility and respect it once held, if it ever does.
